Description

You desire less government control of the economy. On the other hand, you call
for considerably more active government
government in other areas. You appear to be a good solid
Republican. However, you might sometimes prefer the Constitution Party candidate.

Campaign 2016

This is a strange year. The Republicans have been taken over by
a candidate who would better fit in the old Reform Party.
Donald Trump is possibly in your area of the Nolan Chart.
He has waffled between Reform, Democratic, and Republican parties, but he is
currently tacking conservative -- with an authoritarian vibe.

While he is no libertarian, he has had quite a libertine career: flaunting wealth,
running casinos, selling Vodka, serial adultery...
Many social conservatives have thus gone "Never Trump." If you are one of them,
where do you go?

If you are part of the Never Trump movement, you might want to check out the last-minute campaign of
Evan McMullin. Given how late out of the gate this
campaign is, it seems a long shot. And the issue statements
are short and fluffy. So do your own research.

Fun Reads for Social Conservatives

Imagine a future of private property and propriety. It's getting difficult these days,
but I have some conservative utopias for your
reading pleasure. Enjoy.

Political Parties and Campaigns:

The American Solidarity Party
is a Christian Democratic party which is pro life across the board. They call for
generous welfare benefits funded by ground rents, and for backing off of some of
the more punitive aspects of our justice system. But unlike most left wing parties,
they would make abortion illegal and support religious freedom even outside church
buildings.

Ideas for Social Conservatives

Old fashioned conservativism.

The U.S. military can take out evil dictators quite readily. Establishing
a stable democracy afterwards is another matter. Wonder why?
The answer lies in the flaws in standard voting systems. In a deeply divided
nation voting systems matter greatly. Have a look at
Range Voting. Study it.
The math is compelling. If we are going to play World Police, let's do it right.

From your answers it appears you believe that government should actively
enforce some aspects of personal morality.
If you think that such enforcement
should be based on Christian (or Jewish) principles,
here are some in-depth Bible studies on the matter for your
consideration.
